Setup

1. Attach Fluid Cup: Securely screw the 600 ml plastic fluid cup onto the spray gun body. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
2. Connect Air Hose: Attach your air compressor hose to the air inlet at the bottom of the spray gun handle. Ensure the connection is secure and leak-free.
3. Adjust Air Pressure: Set your air compressor to the recommended operating pressure for HVLP spray guns, typically between 20-30 PSI at the gun's air inlet while the trigger is pulled. Refer to your paint manufacturer's specifications for precise pressure settings.
4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, flush the spray gun with an appropriate cleaning solvent to remove any manufacturing residues.
5. Adjust Fan Pattern: The fan pattern control knob (usually on the side of the gun) adjusts the width of the spray pattern. Turn clockwise for a narrower pattern, counter-clockwise for a wider pattern.
6. Adjust Fluid Control: The fluid control knob (usually at the back of the gun) regulates the amount of fluid flowing through the nozzle. Turn clockwise to decrease fluid flow, counter-clockwise to increase.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Material: Mix your paint or coating material according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring proper viscosity for spraying. Strain the material to remove any particles that could clog the gun.
2. Fill Fluid Cup: Pour the prepared material into the 600 ml plastic fluid cup. Do not overfill.
3. Test Spray: Before spraying your workpiece, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material to check the spray pattern, fluid output, and atomization. Adjust air pressure, fan pattern, and fluid control as needed.
4. Spraying Technique:
   • Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface, typically 6-8 inches away.
   • Maintain a consistent distance and speed across the entire pass.
   • Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage.
   • Trigger the gun fully at the beginning of each pass and release at the end, avoiding arcing motions.
5. Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, thoroughly clean the spray gun. Refer to the "Maintenance" section for detailed cleaning procedures.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your Iwata spray gun.

1. Daily Cleaning:
   • Empty any remaining material from the fluid cup.
   • Pour appropriate cleaning solvent into the cup and spray it through the gun until clear.
   • Remove the air cap and clean it thoroughly with a brush and solvent.
   • Clean the fluid nozzle and needle tip. Do not use metal tools that could scratch these precision parts.
   • Wipe down the exterior of the gun.
2. Periodic Deep Cleaning:
   • Disassemble the air cap, fluid nozzle, and fluid needle.
   • Soak these components in cleaning solvent.
   • Use a spray gun cleaning kit to clean all passages and orifices.
   • Inspect O-rings and seals for wear and replace if necessary.
   • Lubricate moving parts (e.g., fluid needle packing, trigger pivot) with a small amount of spray gun lubricant.
   • Reassemble carefully, ensuring all parts are correctly seated and tightened.
